Digital Measurement of Wound Area, Length and Width
The MolecuLight i:X is an easy-to-use tool for performing digital wound area measurement and documentation. It allows clinicians to digitally measure a wound (area, length, width and a manually inputted depth) and save the measurement. This allows clinicians to monitor wound healing over time. In addition, the fluorescence image provides information on the bacterial load and location in the wound.
